I am a British offer cadet who has just finished training. We learn how to be gentlemen in all aspects from negotiations on the battlefield, or parley. To hosting a banquet and in general life. I think all men should learn the quality's of being a gentleman as there would be far less violence, racism and all the other evils in the world.

He uses the word “Unbefitting”. Seriously, we need to bring back those classy, elegant words. I mean, their usage takes the speaker to a whole new level.

Also, a gentleman speaks quietly. He does not shout irritatingly.

As a person who grew up in the South I wish these tips were more commonly used. You're never too old to say "sir" or "ma'am".

How a person treats a stranger tells you who they truly are.

AGHH THAT TIE IS NOT SYMETRICAL .. I mean .. That Tie of your is not correctly positioned on that beatiful suit of yours.

rule number 1:
-saying please is not a necessity. showed weakness and gives them a chance to pull the upper hand (im a corporate account executive so i know a few things about persuasion )
-saying thank you is a must!

never say please, you could say, "i would appreciate it if you could"

[vxhub]

"Thank You" for guiding us to be a perfecto

[Rannbo]

Is it respectful if I say wassup my nigga to my professor in college?

[michelletulumello]

Great advice. I'd say the same is true for a lady.
